Looks good!

Is it just me or would anybody else be concerned for the Angels getting hungry and the cardinals "disappearing"?

Thanks to all for the advice on getting the tank set up, and for the positive feedback! The Angels don't even notice the Cardinal (which are eating everything and getting huge) as I made sure the cardinals were there first, and I got the Angels as babies. The purple plant is a purple Hygro. I only have it for a week. We will see how it does. The Angels are actually much more concerned about each other than the rest of the fish.

yeah I have 6 in my 75. It is fun if you watch their social interactions. I have two big angels I figure are males that chase each other from their ends of the tank and then 4 medium sized ones that I assume are females that police each other. The "males" and "females" completely ignore each other.

I have to say, my LFS wouldn't even let me buy cardinals when they found out I had angels, he suggested a school of serpae's which I have been thrilled with. They are great, and the 3 Giant Danios seem to have incorporated themselves into the school. I was going to move them, when I changed over my tank from a JD tank but could never catch the things, I am glad now.
